Looks to me like they are filling up the waterways with cement, which is what the competitive 1/4 miles boys do. But what I don't understand is that if they are doing that, then why are they still running the thermostat, water pipes and header tank.

Also couldn't see the rad.

what benifit does that have?

[Dar]

I don't know much about 1/4 mile cars. I can only assume that it means that you can run more boost pressure.

Some serious supercharged engines have been known to "balloon" the cylinder walls due to excessive cylinder pressure. Perhaps this is why some Drag Racers fill the water jacket with cement.

oh yaeh i suppose if not running for long it wouldn't need the cooling, maybe it'd also make the block more solid and therefor stronger?

[mowgli]

I would hazard a guess that they are simply painting the inside of the waterways. If they were using cement, it would look a lot messier

[H15 NVA]

ok so why would they paint them?

[novaboyopr]

cant see y they would want to paint then. that turbo looks a bit of a mess on the front of that but if it works well. good on them. get some vids up of it on the rollers people
